Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Im sure I prob wouldnt break with it 315 street tires on it but theres really no need to beat on it anyways if I want to play around I go hit the freeway even on street tires if you do it enough over time somthing will give if not the rear end its hard on the clutch you she my point? I know im being a little anal its just I see dumbass kids all the time that have no respect for how things work and just abuse there shit and when it breaks they take it to a shop and have it fixed cause they dont know shit and in 5 years there nomaly left with ragid POS car BTW its a cobra most of the time
I happen to be a counterexample to just about everything you say here
1) My car doesnt come out of the garage without lighting the tires up... yea thats a rule
2) I also lose traction in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears after shifts.
3) Im a "kid" and Ive replaced my own clutch
4) 93,000 miles on the original 10 bolt and it has no whine, clunking or any problems whatsoever. My car is in perfect shape.
The people that blow 10 bolts are the people that do 5000+ RPM clutch drops (you only need about 2k) or the people that run sticky tires. I had a set of drag radials for about a week and immediately sold them - it really didnt like it. Street tires are a million times more forgiving.
I do however understand and respect the fact that you take care of your car. I too have spent FAR more time maintaining mine than i do actually driving it. Im a believer that cars do not wear out, they are neglected to death.

Im only 22 also wasn't saying all (kids) dont know how to work on there stuff

but dont think babying it will get out of a clutch change - honestly the stock clutches are weak. My buddies LS1 clutch was toast at 40k, although i admit he drove it hard towards its end.
I changed my clutch before it was even worn out, it just slipped all the time.

ls1 clutchs are weak. I would almost bet everything that all stock ls'1 clutchs have 3 wear points on the flywheel/pressure plate
I know it wont get me out of changing a clutch its not that at all im not worried about doing it. It just seems like driving a car you can tell the difference between one thats been ran alot and one thats treated like a baby in Most cases. Now somebody is going to argue about this I know but its mho id like to maximize the good miles I have with my car before I have to start working on it more then I drive it Like my last car On it I did ATX>MTX trans swap engine swap clutch fuel pump just about everything since then I cant stand to run my stuff very hard even if Ill prob get away with it

no you are absolutely correct about that. however, with exception of chasis flex that developes over time, most of those symptoms can be fixed. Things like worn engine mounts can make a car feel sloppy, and youd never expect it.
Let me correct myself At some time Ill prob take my car to the track but Im deff not going to run it every week the more you run them the better the odds are somethings going to give some dont some do Ive heard of people running In the 10's on a 10 bolts but Ive seen near stock cars getting unlucky and snaping theres for me I'd the rather just go jump on a freeway on ramp and let it out a little bit and keep my car feeling tight but to each his own

There's a handful of spooky fast cars around me...one of 'em is (I think) Larry's buddy...1BADWS6...I think...see him on occasion during the summer.
But maybe the baddest is a 1970 Buick Grand Sport Stage I pro street...you can hear him coming from literally a 1/4 mile away...

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.

francis (1badws6 plate nosws6 SN) hasn't been out for awhile. they finally hurt the stock shortblock(9.8's i think) and put another together but a lifter or something broke in the new one.
or are you talking about a white formula. francis' car looks just like mine

Yeah, it's Francis...didn't realize that was his plate.
Unfortunate they hurt the block...did they get the record or no?
First time I saw that car, I was behind him at Williams Lake and Dixie going east (I wish I was making this up)...and a circa 2000 Mustang of some sort was playing with him at the light...Francis had 2 lengths on him before he left 1st gear.
A very impressive car.
